Red Dragon Rally 2008

[Rhodri.Lew10]

Well since this event uses stages virtually on my door-step, it would have been rude to miss it! Here are my efforts from a cracking event. These were all taken at Junction 6 on the Walters stage.

All C&C welcome as per usual!

I think this chap spends more time sideways than any other driver. Highly entertaining!

I was rather hoping you would be along with some pics from the Red Dragon,and I am not dissapointed,in fact they are great,colourful,good shutter speeds for action,and excellent action .
All in all,Pukka !

Great action shots Rhodri, very nice:D

My only bit of c&c is the colours in 1 & 2 look a little over done and not the natural colours of the actual cars

It's the reds and blues that seem extremely vivid

Hi Ant, thanks for that - I hope the powers that be don't mind me posting up the original for comparison? This has only been cropped and sharpened a little, I haven't touched brightness, saturation etc:

Here's a shot of the same car for comparison, I know it's covered in sh*t but you get the idea;)

Hope you don't mid me put this up?

What's your white balance set at?

[Rhodri.Lew10]

Not at all Ant, and I see what you mean, the blues in your pic seem alot darker compared to those in mine. Trick of the light maybe? As I swear I've not touched the colour / saturation in that second pic!

The colours on 2nd one of Hunter looks much better and pretty close to the actual colours on the day.

Lets not forget that the sun was out and walters isnt as tree covered as the forest of dean.

Here's one of mine of the same car from Walters ...

Some lovely shots there Rhod!

the ones out of the junction (6??) are very good :)

Re the problem with Hunters colours the answer to that may well be he's had it re-painted I'm sure i was told this before the event...
